A Working Weekend

I created chaos again.I've been fussing for weeks about what colors to paint the studio. Look to what you love to find colors you love. So, I made a choice. I'd call it 'Flea Market Fancy' green though it's actually Lime Rickey...and the lighter color is Citrine.I made a new bulletin board to keep my reminders.And I painted the accent wall....pretty bold for me, but I want the studio to be a bright, happy place.I made a new design wall. I use foam core presentation boards, the kind you get at office supply stores. Last time I covered each with flannel individually and then put them on the wall. This time I taped 9 of them together into one big board, covered the whole thing with flannel and then attached it to the wall. Can't wait to fill it up!Things got put back together. I still have a ceiling to paint, woodwork to paint and the rest of the walls. They'll be a much lighter shade of the green. You can tell, I like to work in phases. It will all be done eventually.I've had a few wonderful surprises come in the mail. I won a giveaway on Nicolette's blog, Dutch Comfort. She sent me this gorgeous bag and some fab fabric. I love the bag so much...it's made with beautiful Dutch fabric...and it's the perfect size for me. Thanks Nicolette!I also won a giveaway at Sheree's blog, Sheree's Alchemy. There is so much here I could barely fit it all in one picture. It's a quilter's dream and look at that fabric spilling out of the box. I can't wait to sort through it. Thanks Sheree! You know I will use it all.

I love your studio. The green walls are perfect. Can you tell me anything about your shelving for your fabrics. I've wanted to do that for so long. Where you got them and what should I ask for? Sorrr, I don't mean to be impolite.

I was going to say that you mess was the best kind ( a fabric-y creative one) and then I scrolled down and saw the room all painted and cleaned up and it's even more fabulous!! Happy creating in your new space. :-)

I love the colors you chose for your studio. Thank you for sharing how you built your design wall. I am going to be moving my craft room into our basement before the snow falls, thanks for the inspiration!Have a great day.

I love the new studio colours and layout - fabulous! I would feel very inspired hanging out in that fabulous space. And thanks for the tip on foam core boards covered in flannel for a design wall - genius, doh!

Oh how envious I am of your studio (maybe because it's such a lovely green). I can't wait until the day when I have my own home and I can paint all the walls. I hope it brings you many many hours of quilting and crafting inspiration!

I love love LOVE the green! You are a woman after my own heart:) I actually just painted my kitchen/hallway green and am about to do the living room the same. I love color and it's refreshing to see when others do too:) You will have fun creating in there I'm sure :)
